I want to start a subscription to the RPG line for pathfinder, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll be shipped another copy of the Core Rule Book, which I've already bought at GENCON. Is there a cut off time for when I can set up this subscription, and know I won't get an additional copy shipped to me? Also, if I sign up for the subscription now, could I cancel my preorder of the Beastiary, since I'd know get it under the new subscription?
Thanks!

When you start a subscription with Paizo they let you select which product to start the subscription with, either the current product or the next one. Just specify the next product. It is also quite clear which product will be the first one to ship in a subscription so well before you commit to the transaction you will know.
I think if you sign up for the subscription your beastiary will be canceled automatically and rolled into the subscription.

If you sign up for the subscription, it will automatically cancel your Bestiary pre-order. And the above comment about choosing your first subscription product is correct.
I hope you join us! :)
I would; I would get every subscription, but my [epic level barbarian] wife would utterly annihilate me once those shipments would start coming in at a regular basis... ("Why do you need so many of these books? *HOW* much money are you *REALLY* spending on them? We need a new sofa, and you went and paid for these with your *CREDIT CARD*?!?" etc.).
The best solution I've come up with (so far) is that I order the Paizo stuff at my FLGS, and then sneak them into the closet when she's not watching (our bookshelf is currently groaning under the weight of a thousand books or so, and she seems to know the titles by heart; I simply cannot try to hide them "in plain sight"). Yeah, it's pathetic, but that's what you get when you start a family with a non-gamer who's *very* keen on money (and, especially, using credit cards). I still love her very much, but some of our priorities and interests are worlds away from each other.
Sorry about ranting. :)

I had a talk with the GF which went more or less like this:
- Hmm, why are you buying so much of those RPG stuff ?
- Because I'm not buying any ale nor whores.Kind of works. ;-)
That is how my conversation went with my wife to.
I said, Hey would you rather me spend ther money going to bars with the guys? ;-)

Not to derail the thread, but she didn't seem to mind me buying RPG stuff, books, DVDs, and computer games until we moved together; suddenly she wanted to know the exact amount of money on my bank account and wanted to see all my bills (especially my credit card bill) and so on. It's not as if I was originally secretive about it all, but at some point I started to buy stuff in secret to avoid constant fights over monetary issues.
(BTW, I don't spend any money on alcohol either, and I'm going to quit smoking at the end of the year, so I *have* extra money... it's just that she'd prefer me spending it all on our relationship and home, i.e. trips abroad, new furniture, etc.)
Most of the time we really enjoy each other's company, but we just don't see eye to eye on this subject.

Mine would likely ask me: "No, but I'd prefer you'd spend more on stuff we *both* can enjoy!"... and then enter 'Greater Rage' (which lasts for her more than four minutes, BTW) and bash her fist through the wall or something! ;P
